1.3.2 Point-to-Point LAN Extension

A point-to-point configuration (Figure 1-4) is a simple arrangement
consisting of an Access Point and a Remote unit. This provides a com-
munications link for the transfer of data between two locations.

1.3.3 Backhaul for Serial Radio Networks

One of the primary design features of the transceiver is to provide a path
for serial devices to migrate to IP/Ethernet. Many radio networks in
operation today still rely on serial networks at data rates of 9600 bps or
less. These networks can use the transceiver as a means to continue
using the serial service, while allowing the rest of the infrastructure to
migrate to an IP format.
A Remote transceiver using one serial port for the data stream, and the
other for network-wide diagnostics can support operational radio net-
works built with serial-based radios, such as MDS x790/x710, MDS
TransNET and others. In the case of radios using a single port for data
and diagnostics, the capabilities are doubled. The data streams are deliv-
ered to an IP socket in an application, or in serial format using the
Access Point.
